Do you have a philosophy which dictates how you spend your weekends? Are you are hedonist, believing that saturdays should be devoted to the pleasure zone, or are you an egoist who opts for activities and hobbies to self-improve? You might even be a kantian who fulfillis your place in society, and therefore your raison d'etre at the weekend is to improve society.
Personally, at the moment I am increasingly opting for hedonism, preferring to spend my time eating, sleeping, playing video games, but I may self advance myself a bit by reading some philosophy :wink:
So its your turn to extoll the features of your weekend philosophy if indeed you stick by one! :)

Hmmm... frequently I aim for being an egoist, but sometimes (actions speaking louder than words) I end up being quite hedonistic on my weekly holidays.

Mentally, I'm 100% egoist; in action, I'm about only 50% egoist. :?

last weekend i found myself in relaxationalism.

This weekened i think i will employ a nonworkalism, and with optimism.

your time zone is about 2 hours from mine, so it is nearin 2:00 a.m.

Are you the only female smokeater in your house?

Do you get your own sleeping quarters?

Today (Sunday) I have so far resisted the urge to sleep not out of tiredness but out of apathy...I just read a bit of Descartes....which is after all my egocentric intrest....

Having looked at the thread I can say that I am a psychological egoist.

toss in a responsible dose of hedonism.

and remember that others, who are like you, have the same interests, and their success is your success.
and you are good to go.
